Overall:
I looked around for months for what I thought was the best acoustic guitar for right around $1,000.00
I played the Taylors (really really wanted a Taylor) Martins, Takemine. Guilds, Breadloves, and Seagulls. All within this price range. I also was very interested in a all solid wood guitar. I initially dismissed this guitar when I found out it was made in China. however, kept going back to look at this guitar on the zZounds site. It looks absolutely beautiful and the specs and materials used at this price are Hard to believe. I finally found a local store that had the MDA70 in stock (no cutaway) I fell in love right away. It felt like was holding a $4,000 instrument. It's really hard to explain how amazing this all solid wood guitar is compared to anything else I played. The craftmanship and feel is still kind of unbelievable to me. I ordered the MDA70ce and it arrived in excellent shape. I did have to have my guy lower the action a little bit to fit my playing, but I have had to do that with every acoustic I have ever bought. It cost me $29 and I have never been happier with a guitar. This is a guitar I will have for a long, long time and hand down to my son someday.
China-shmina, I did a ton of research and they say these guitars are all hand made, hand layed albony, hand carved bracing, so on. This is just my opinion, but I think if you are going spend this much $$ on a acoustic guitar, you need to at least hold one of these in your hands. The sound and feel is incredible. Did I mention that it is an absolutely beautiful crafted guitar...lol Very happy!
